Ian Pearson (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform; Dudley South, Labour)
I beg to move,
That—
(1) the Committee shall (in addition to its first meeting at 10.30 a.m. on Tuesday 14th October) meet—
(a) at 2.30 p.m. on Wednesday 15th October;
(b) at 9.00 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. on Thursday 16th October;
(2) the proceedings shall be taken in the following order: Clauses 1-5; Schedule 1; Clauses 6 to 16; Schedule 2; Clause 17; Schedule 3; Clauses 18 to 33; new Clauses; new Schedules; remaining proceedings on the Bill;
(3) the proceedings shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion at 4.30 p.m. on Thursday 16th October.
It is a real pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr. Benton, and that of Dr McCrea.
It was evident from the debate on Second Reading that there was widespread support for the principles of the Bill. However, it is right to have detailed scrutiny of a number of issues. I welcome the sittings allocated to the Bill, which should allow sufficient scrutiny to enable the Bill to be improved.
